If you noticed some changes to the Web site today, thanks for paying attention.
We’ve talked about how people use OpenDNS at home, but lots of people use OpenDNS at work too. We wanted to create a place on the site to talk about them and show people how great OpenDNS is for office networks. Thanks to Tim, Dean, Fred, Nils, Michael and Chris for being the first to stand up and tell their stories.
If you’re using OpenDNS at home, set us up at work. If you don’t control your office network, tell the person who does that you want OpenDNS.

I’m using OpenDNS at work. Frankly, the DNS from AT&T Worldnet wasn’t all that reliable, so I figured why not. Seeing as OpenDNS provides phishing protection, it’ll keep the slackers from causing problems for themselves and my network at the same time.
Well done, and keep up the great work!

Any chance that home users can see the top domains visited from their IP as well?

I use it at work, but my major problem with that, is that the router where I have your DNSs set up, also is the dns for all computers, and some times computers cant resolve the inner dns names of the other computers.
Until I fix that, I think I’ll have to chage the router config back, so that it can resolve the inner dns names correctly.

It is good that appeared the instruction, as to dispose opendns at work. To all my friends I recommend your service. In my blog I wrote two notes about installation multihomed dns using bind pdnsd. I leave here references, possibly to someone will prove useful these knowledge.

BUGadundo,
Setting up OpenDNS as a forwarder should solve your issue.

patrick,
You’re not the first to make this request. It’s definitely on our radar.

Would it be worthwhile, irresponsible or futile to use OpenDNS on my own workstation without asking IT to use OpenDNS for the whole company?

Trent,
It would be irresponsible to do so and could cause problems, because your company probably has its own internal DNS servers that let your computer know how to talk to other computers on your company network. If you change your DNS settings, your computer may not work on the company network any more, or you may have intermittent errors. Please check with your company’s IT department to see if changing your DNS is okay before making the change. You may or may not be technically able to make the change depending on whether or not you have local administrator rights on your computer, but please don’t mess things up without checking first!
